Yes, pics would help. In general, a "Drum Corps" cymbal would be designed for marching. It is probably pretty heavy (marching cymbals take a lot of abuse), but can make a good ride if you like heavy rides.

Doesn't that usually signify a dead tom??? Oh wait....that would have an 'e' on the end. My bad.

That would indeed denote marching cymbals which are usually very heavy...as has already been stated. Kind of a waste of space, this one.
